EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "PDC-F-000469-0000 Fragment of the Parthenon frieze in the Acropolis Museum in Athens" takes us on a journey back to ancient times. Captured around 1900, it transports us to the majestic city of Athens during its golden age. The artwork depicted is none other than a fragment from the renowned Parthenon frieze, an iconic masterpiece that once adorned the magnificent temple atop the Acropolis. Crafted by Fidia, a celebrated artist of his time during the 5th century BC, this particular section showcases intricate details and divine figures from Greco-Roman mythology. Intriguingly, this photograph focuses on a group portrait featuring male figures in various stages of undress. Their elegant hairdos and hairstyles reflect both their social status and fashion trends prevalent during that era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every muscle and contour of their nude bodies has been meticulously carved into stone. As we gaze upon this image captured by Clarke & Davis for Alinari, we are reminded of how art transcends time. It allows us to connect with our ancestors' beliefs and stories while appreciating their artistic prowess. This photograph serves as a window into history—a glimpse into an ancient world where divinity intertwined with human existence. Now housed within Greece's Acropolis Museum in Athens, this fragment stands as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with beauty and mythological tales. It reminds us that even after centuries have passed since its creation, art remains an everlasting source of inspiration for generations yet to come.
